In those instances, you do hear a bit of clunking, but it is not that audible.

One drive in my 2013, and you'll know you're wrong. It sounds and feels like crap. A lot of new owners say the same thing and the response is that it's part of the car's character. It's always been an issue and has not been resolved regardless of what Nissan says. Check for example what Edmunds said here:

"Speaking of the GT-R's six-speed dual-clutch transmission, it's been dinged from Day 1 for its noise and clunkiness. The engineers addressed the noise issue with a stiffer shift fork arm and a stronger fixing bearing for the flywheel housing. They also made motorsports-level differential oil standard.
If there's a difference, it's barely perceptible. There's still a decent amount of clatter from the transmission, and it can still be clunky, especially in stop-and-go traffic, in full Automatic mode."
